Has anyone else gotten this error? When I start up my
computer, it asks for my password... So I type it in, and
sometimes it takes an extra minute or two booting up, and
when it does, there's an error message that says
something along the lines of "Windows cannot find 'copy'.
To locate the file yourself, search for it..." That's not
exactly how it went, but I can't seem to figure out
what's causing this? any help would be appreciated. Thank
you.
 
mine has started doing the same. Did you ever get a solution. I see it's nearly a year go you posted your inquiry and "no" responses, that's certainly not very encouraging

1. Open Regedit by going to Start>>Run and then typing regedit.

2. Then do a find for "winshow" When any key is found, delete it by
pressing the delete key. Be sure to hit the F3 (Find Next) key after
each. There are about 10 or so that need to be find. Regedit will say
"Finished Searching" when complete.

3. Repeat the same step above, but this time search for "winlink"

4. After that is done, close regedit.

5. You will then have to search for the the .dll files stored on the
harddrive. Go to search for files at c: Then search for "winshow" and
"winlink" Delete any files that you find. (Im my case I did not find
any files named winlink)

6. Restart the computer
